“The anamorphic widescreen picture has an aspect ratio of 2.40:1 and shows off details superbly and colours richly.”

“The image is squeaky clean but never takes on that aggressively flat digital sheen.

“Its colours favour earthy yellows and tans that dominate but still give way to spots of other colour — the red on the Japanese flag or green foliage — while contrast is tuned to favour that earthy and mild sepia look.”

“I believe this is Universal’s first Dolby ATMOS release on Blu-ray, which includes a Dolby TrueHD 7.1 core.

“Even when folded down to 5.1 by my Marantz SR5008 receiver (since my room is too small for 7.1), this is a near-reference quality soundtrack.”
